You can't use C-clip elims with rear disks. They interfer. Also they won't take extreme lateral loads like in RR'ing
You'd basically have to remove your rear disks and run drum brakes to use them.
I agree with you on the c-clips being a scary design, but when was the last time you heard about someone's c-clip failing. Pretty simple, but it does the job

No it's not BS, there have been several articles lately about "c" clip eliminators. Do not run them on the street, the bearings don't lube like the stockers and will seize up. They are a drag only item designed to keep the axle in place if the "c" clips break.
Now that I've said that someone will produce a "c" clip eliminator for the street and 8 million people will tell you that they run them.
Your results may vary.

I agree
But it's a pretty much proven design. Millions of vehicles are made each year with c-clips and you never hear about failures.
I almost paid to have some 31 spline axles I got a really good deal on installed that had the c-clip eliminators. They were the Moser axles. The shop I took it to said that they could keep the disc brakes in the back, but that they would have to machine some of the axle in some spots, and that I would lose ABS. All of the added cost turned me off to that, and I sold those axles and picked up some regular c-clip 31 spline axles, and they were awesome the whole time I had them. All they are good for is if you blow an axle, it will keep your wheels on, and everything in the case.
well i'll be the different one here.
i've been running c-clip elims for almost 2 years with no problems. i have moser axles and elims. you need to have your backing plates machined to fit the elims and you lose your ABS rings. you also need to trim some excess metal off the end of the axle housing. i dont see why you would have a problem running these on the street. i dont
